ProcessorCount: Use ERROR_QUIET with execute_process (#11302)

Also, comment out all "debugging" calls to message() that helped
us interpret the output on other platforms when running on the
dashboard clients.

Using ERROR_QUIET avoids unnecessary stderr output while calling
external tools to determine the processor count. If there's an
error parsing the output, we set the count to 0 anyhow.

Also, the test will fail on a CMake dashboard run if the count
comes back equal to 0.

Now that the code is "done"-ish, remove the debugging output.
Expect no output on stdout or stderr when calling the
ProcessorCount function from now on.
